Java's goal this year is to "reach humankind" by striving
to project Java's desktop capabilities and benefits onto mobile devices:

Java SE 6.0 main objective: "Faster, faster, faster"

A new scripting language with rich content support is born: "JavaFX"

Java SE network and key capability such as rich content facility + JAVA ME = JavaFX Mobile. Sun has set itself to close the gap between key services and facilities offered
on desktop and mobile devices. A mobile demo was given, and it looked good.
What I am not exactly sure of is what is JavaFX all about?
I will find out this afternoon at 1:30pm as they will have a general session on it.

Scott McNealy announced support for the creation of "curriki.org" a website
that provides all sort of science and educational information for younger kids.
He asked everyone to help out by registering on the site and creating an active
community.
